Hippie Parents | |
| Boys / int_16b734e7 | comment |
Hippie Parents: Though we only get a brief glimpse of Marc's mom and dad, Marc's parents are most likely this. The fact that they got married after both children were born so that their offspring could enjoy the wedding should suffice as evidence. | |

| Boys / int_59166261 | comment |
Second-Act Breakup: After the initial conflict over Sieger pretending to be with Jessica, Marc officially breaks up with Sieger after being stood up, then shoved and told to leave after running into one another. Everything gets resolved, of course. | |

| Boys / int_598513bb | comment |
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Eddy and Sieger could be seen as this. Eddy is reckless, carefree, and often disrespectful, while Sieger is dutiful, disciplined, reserved, and polite. | |

Uptight Loves Wild | |
| Boys / int_79729e6d | comment |
Uptight Loves Wild: Sieger is quiet and reserved, whereas Marc is a quirky, happy-go-lucky free spirit. This is exemplified in the way they train for running. Sieger has a disciplined regime involving typical training exercises, and remains focused while he runs, while Marc does headstands and doesn't think of anything in particular during a race. | |

Good Parents | |
| Boys / int_a30c287 | comment |
Good Parents: Marc's parents are open-minded, supportive, and generally fun; Marc clearly loves them a lot. Theo tries his to keep his children both safe and happy, despite the sad circumstances of his wife's death. He even allows Eddy to have a motorcycle despite his own inhibitions because he knows it will bring him joy. | |

Held Gaze | |
| Boys / int_abdc0b3f | comment |
Held Gaze: Because so much of their communication and sexual tension is silent, Marc and Sieger get several of these. Before and after their First Kiss. The entire scene is shown overhead, so they appear in almost complete symmetry as they watch each other. At the fair, in the awkward encounter where Sieger introduces Marc to his "girlfriend" Jessica. | |
